Cognitive control dysfunction in emotion dysregulation and psychopathology of major depression (MD): Evidence from transcranial brain stimulation of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC)
Cognitive control dysfunction mediates emotional dysregulation and psychopathology of MD. Functional abnormalities in the droslateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) are associated with cognitive control dysfunction in MD. Modulating cortical activity in the DLPFC leads to improved cognitive control and emotion regulation in MD. Cognitive components play a significant role in emotional dysregulation of MD. tDCS can be used as a method for cognitive treatment in MD.
